Here is a wedding photo from the 7 large vintage photos i got for $10. the clothes are so beautiful. i also got this bride bisque doll for $6 and the wedding couple for $1

So we leave in 3 days for the cruise. the car is coming for us at 4am - ugh! that will be a long day with the flight and all. it will be nice to finally get on the boat. i still have to go to the bank and turn in all the change we've been saving for about 6 months. it took FOREVER to get it out of the glass jar (a huge vintage jar, which was really heavy) and then i had to sort it because my husband wants all the wheat pennies and certain state quarters. (i just sorted, i am not going through all those coins!) later me and dillon will run them over to the bank and get dollars for them. my guess is there is about $360 in coins there. i'll let you know the total later. i should have done a contest on this, because the jar was FULL!

Creating is my key to another time. It unlocks the gate to my secret garden; my refuge. It takes me to another era where things were simpler and I find the process soothing to my soul. Lemoncholy’s Studio began with my fondness for vintage items. Searching flea markets, I find items long forgotten, sometimes damaged, but still purposeful. They just need some love and attention. I want these found objects to tell a new story, have meaning and to be inspiring. I have a vision for them to begin again. Intuitively I combine elements in an enchanting way to provoke a narrative response that alludes to something we seek without knowing it. Often, it is a reminder of our childhood. My jewelry is about craftsmanship and virtue but not perfection. By removing perfectionism, I free my imagination to play and ultimately, this freedom results in whimsical pieces of grace and beauty. I am a grown up Navy brat and moved every 2 years of life. This education in life has well prepared for the journey i have chosen for myself. I am the mother of 2 boys, Tucker and Dillon. We live here at the jersey shore in our own little bohemian corner of the world.
